Jindaiji Temple Visit ⛩🙏

#Japan Attractions After an interesting approach to the temple, you will arrive at Jindaiji Temple, which has a long history. It is the second most ancient temple in Tokyo after Sensoji Temple. The Sanmon Gate is the oldest existing building in Jindaiji Temple. The core of the temple, the Main Hall, houses a statue of Amitabha Buddha. It was originally burned down in a fire during the Edo period and was later rebuilt during the Taisho period. Lions, dragons and elephants are carved on the beams and pillars, and phoenixes are carved under the windshields, reflecting the architectural features of the Edo period. The Shakado Hall next to the main hall enshrines the Hakuho Buddha, a national treasure of Japan, and there is a fee for visiting. The Gensandaishi Hall houses a statue of Jikedaishi (Gensandaishi) from the Heian period, commemorating his achievements on Mount Hiei. We also saw two of Japan's Seven Lucky Gods, Daikokuten (the god of medicine and wealth who specializes in curing diseases) and Ebisu (the guardian god of the sea), they were so chubby and cute🤣🤣 The various Buddha statues are exquisitely carved and look calm, which is very eye-opening and suitable for worship🤗🤗🤗
